Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, make a batter by combining the eggs, milk, baking powder, with 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, beating and incorporating until all is used and the batter is smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Fold in the corn, roasted garlic, truffle cheese, remaining parsley and season with Creole seasoning.

Preheat the fryer or heat some shortening to 360 degrees in a large deep pot. Drop the batter, a heaping tablespoon at a time, into the hot oil. When the fritters pop to the surface, roll them around with a slotted spoon in the oil to brown them evenly. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Season with Creole seasoning and serve. Serve on a large platter with Grilled Tomato Relish. Garnish with some grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
